"The couple, who live in North Carolina, said they would have made a different choice at the ballot box had they known the extent of Trump's immigration crackdown."

Did someone say, "face eating leopard?"

"But, but I didn't vote for this."

The story behind the story and why this couple deserves ZERO sympathy:

As Argentines, this couple knows full well the malevolence that a right-wing autocratic dictatorship can afflict on a people. Argentina suffered under fascist rule from from ~1976 to 1983. The "Dirty War" led to thousands and thousands of disappearances, children abducted to provide families for military officers unable to procreate, and torture in the prisons. Estimates of victims killed range from 22,000 to 30,000.

Venezuelan Americans voted for trump because Biden talked to the Venezuelan government. Trump is ending the refugee visas
Muslim Americans voted for trump to punish Harris. Bibi and trump are erasing Gaza
Tots and pears for both groups. And, of course, congrats on fafo .

Whoa, from youtube, mastered by Bob Ludwig, the great Bob Ludwig. It takes a lot to impress me in the audio world. And Mr Ludwig is one of the great ones in audio mastering, imo.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Chorus]
Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
...

... and you only regret your vote when Pres Trump screws you.

His mother said, "It was a massive deception, what [Trump] did," she said. "He's a liar."

Not a secret, Mrs. Rey. It's a well known fact.

Another case of FAFO ...

Muslim Americans voted for trump to punish Harris. Bibi and trump are erasing Gaza

Last October I had lunch with a doctor friend who is a muslim who told me he was voting for dotardo because he is going to end the war in Gaza.

I told him that dotardo is lying and has no intention of helping any muslim community out ever.

He called me after dotardo gave bibi the green light to destroy Gaza to apologize. I told him that he did not need to apologize to me.

He asked me how did I know and I told him, easy...trump has always been a) a racist, b)a muslim hater and c)a compulsive liar his entire life.

It's one thing to be ignorant of what (then) Mr. Trump said he would do if elected.

It's quite another to support his plans thinking they would only be applied to "someone else".
This latter group deservedly should receive: no empathy, no sympathy, much derision, and much scorn.

Well, their son in fact is a convicted violent criminal.
They should have expected this.

I know a BUNCH of Lebanese people. A couple are really good friends, really we have kind of been accepted into their family. They kept telling us how the invasion in southern Lebanon was not a big deal where they visited and their relatives lived. "This happens all the time... etc." I told them this is different. "We aren't Muslim so it won't come here." Well then the bombs fell. The Israelis dropped bombs some Hezbollah traveling through their village. Killed and wounded a bunch of people. Our friends lost an uncle and cousin and another wounded. Their parents family house - all the windows blown out and other damage.

Our friends know very well how we feel. They tell us they didn't vote for Trump but I know at least most of the other Lebanese people we know well did. I even asked a couple of them - are you not paying attention? Trumps own team leaked that he is telling Nuttyahoo "Do what you need to. He has announced expanded travel bans he intends and they include Lebanese now." I also told them that there isn't a US President that wouldn't support Israel - some more than others...

"Court records show that in Los Angeles in July 2019, Gentile's ex-wife was granted a restraining order, after accusing him of threatening her with a gun, grabbing her by the neck, and slapping her in the face. Agustin Gentile filed for divorce in August 2019, according to court records"

"accusing him of threatening her with a gun, grabbing her by the neck, and slapping her in the face."

If we detained everyone who did that we would need about 25 million more jail cells.

@#16 ... "Court records show that in Los Angeles in July 2019, Gentile's ex-wife was granted a restraining order, after accusing him of threatening her with a gun, grabbing her by the neck, and slapping her in the face. Agustin Gentile filed for divorce in August 2019, according to court records" ...

From the cited article...

... In 2020, Gentile was convicted in California of misdemeanor infliction of injury and sentenced to three years' probation -- a case that was closed in 2023, according to the Journal Constitution. ...

So he served his punishment for the crime.

What else yer current alias got?
